Thank you for joining us, tonight for the first time had in 15 years, we have for the very latest im joined by abc chief meteorologist. Its strengthening ask it approaches you in alabama, where do you see it landing . Reporter im in the heart of mobile, and they have sand bags in front of that store, and that is for good reason. On the satellite. It got a lot better organized as we went through today, and thats going tong it moves really painfully slow to the west northwest, it will finally start to make the northern tick tomorrow afternoon and evening and we expect landfall around midnight or therefore, early wednesday morning. So, its a slow storm, that means that rain is going to be a big time issue. And part of the slowdown is that stationary front, making it almost a fence. You see we stopped the clock at about midnight. It looks like it should make land fall close to pasgagula, mississippi, if it does as a cat two, thats the strongest since katrina in 2005. Theres always multiple threats as the storm approaches. Theres dire storm surge projections, what worries you the most about sally. Life and property. T loses most someplaces up to 11 in surge. We have warnings from eastern louisiana through the florida panhandle. Now it breaks down and closer to the center of the storm and the northeast quadrant, the dirty side of the storm, you will pick up the heftyest, so back near biloxi and that is where we are concerned. We have rainfall, and i dont want people inland to say, its a coastal storm. You get 1520 inches on top of the storm, that is not good. Go up to montgomery and atlanta you can see half a foot of rain, juju. We are hoping the storm does not stall, once again, in the eye of the storm, thanks, ginger. For more on the wrath of mother nature, this one on another coast. Here is abcs will carr. Its such is a mess, the fire rolled through here. Ghostly images, soot and ash, blocking out the sun. Casting everything in tones of black and white. So far i have not seen a structure standing. Reporter theres been c catastrophic damage, and the fires are burning with no end in sight. The smoke is agerousazar to millions, among the worst air quality in the world, in portland, oregon, the air quality levels, the air is so hazardous, people are being encouraged on to not go outside. And authorities are saying that those that have to go out, should wear an n95. This could be the greatest loss due to wild fire in our states history. Children are particularly sensitive to smoke. Their airways are still developing, so the bottom line is stay inside. They are warning with a mass fatality incident, with 22 people missing in the state. 27 people have been killed in three states over the past week. We are experiencing weather conditions the likes of which we have never experienced in our lifetime. Reporter in california, a record 3. 3 million acres have burned this year that is 27 times the amount that burned last year. T today President Trump was on the hi of t biggesty the damage. Burns we haveve sn lot reporter the president s message, highlights Forest Management, and dismissing Climate Change. If we ignore that science and sort of put our head in the sand and think its all about vegetation management. We are not going to succeed together. It will start getting cooler. You just watch. I wish science agreed with you. Well, i dont think science knows, actually. My colleague Lindsay Davis spoke with wade crawford, the california secretary for Natural Resources about their exchange. I dont think science knowing actually was his response. What were you thinking in that moment, and also, in your time with him today, did the president simply ignore the impact that Climate Change is having across the board . I mean, i think the statement that he made speaks for itself. And i think we are frustrated in california and across the west coast. Our communities are under threat right now from catastrophic wild fire burning likeve fueled by record shattering summer heat waves. Multiple times this summer. Its what scientists told us will happen with Climate Change, so its an urgent issue and what i asked him today was, really a plea to work with us. Let science be our guide to protect the forests and ultimately to protect people. President ial candidate joe biden tweeting a twoword message. Science knows. Test test test test test test tels test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test around Climate Change. Just come to the state of california. Observe it with your own eyes. I think we have to start thinking there are more climate fires. They are climate fires because thats what creates the conditions that makes them so explosive. Devastation cannot be over stated. From portland to los angeles. Communities are in a state of emergency. Those fighting the fires completely drained. We have been working nonstop, sleeping on the ground and on top of that, you know, all the guys up here, they have families and property that are part of the community and the emotional toll for everyone is, its, i mean, that just adds to the tired, to the exhaustion. In berry creek, california, its the west complex they are battling. The fire came through quickly and burned cars and homes to the ground in minutes, behind a toxic smoke that is choking. I had to keep my mask on. A veteran years tells me its the worst conditions he has seen. That was the front of the house there. Reporter here, six of the firefighters have lost their own homes. I was out evacuating people, we were getting them out you know, and the next day i found out that my home burned and lost everything that i had. Reporter reed rankin is the captain of his fire department, we went with him to where his home once stood, and now its a vacant lot of ruble and ash. Everything that you collect in your life is right there. Its heartbreaking. They lost their station to the blaze. Trees were like space ships taking off. Every tree was like, whoa, whoa. It just makes you sick to your stomach. Reporter just 40 miles west, he has lived in orville, california, for 58 years. You experienced the campfire and this fire. This area has been battered in recent years by fires. Yes, we have not had a fire this close though. I think this close for a long time. Reporter do you want to stay here . Well, where am i going to go . Everything is gone. No housing, no nothing. Reporter my colleague matt gutman was in oregon last week as the fires started spreading. Reporter i have been covering fire force half a dozen years or month, i have never seen anything like this. The sky completely orange at 11 00 in the morning. Reporter here, retard ant could not stop the force of the fire. I want to show you the world of pink laid down, and it still did nothing to stop the progress of that fire which burned entire neighborhoods and developments here. So many with nowhere to live. This couple took refuge in a red cross shelter in salem, oregon. We had a neighbor that called us and screamed and said, get out, you guys need to leave. Reporter the single mom grabbed her sisters dogs and fled in to the night. I still have my swimsuit on. You had left in a swimsuit. Yes, and the kids had pjs. Reporter they think their house is save, but they are not for sure. The upheaval of fleeing and homelessness being possible, they are tearing up about. We have not been able to start school and now we cant start school. And so, its been hard. In another neighborhoodengle searched for his home. As land marks are gone, the unr. A friend of ours had a house here. A couple of friends. And its so destroyed, i cant find where it was. Reporter he was with his daughters and grandson picking through the wreckage. Im spruzed that people got out of here alive. Reporter they found a prized possession. A light up keyboard he earned himself. This it was a special gift, personal gift that he got for learning to ride his bike. Yeah, its gone. But guess what, remember, its what . Replaceable. Right . Yeah.

From ice to fire, to wind, a trinity of natural disasters shaking up the planet. The alarm on Climate Change intensifying. Earlier today i spoke to dr. Duffy, of the Climate Research center. So, tell us how does Climate Change, everything from to heat waves to lightning strikes lead to these kind of wildfires that are becoming more and more explosive every year . Well the basic science is very simple. And that that Climate Change means more hot, dry weather and that creates what we call fuel conditions, mainly dried out forests that are conducive to fire. And we have seen enormous increases over the last several decades in fire activity in the western u. S. , the way it has manifested itself, actually, is not actually in more fires but in these very, very large fires. Fires which, if they had started 30 years ago would have been easily extinguished, but now because of the fuel conditions and the forests are so dry, rapidly grow and become impossible to control. Well, lets talk about Land Management then, after firing fire ravaged zones,President Trump doubled down and blamed poor Forest Management and said that it would get cooler and when challenged said he wished science knows. Its no question that the planet is getting warmer. We know it from satellite measurements, indicators like loss of sea ice, shrinking ice caps and so forth. Theres no question that the planet is warming and theres really no question that, that warming is whats driving the increasing risk that we face from wild fire and from other forms of extreme weather as well. And in terms of Forest Management, removing what we call fine fuel, that is dead wood and brush and so forth, near structures, it is one of several things we can do to help control the risk. But the main thing that we need to do, is to stop making the problem worse. And that is we need to stop adding Greenhouse Gases to the atmosphe atmosphere. I want to point you to the atlantic now, that is five storms churching at once. Hurricane sally is now bearing down on the gulf. Why is it that the Climate Change plays a roll in both of the types of phenomenon, hurricanes and wildfires . Climate change affects weather everywhere. The science of hurricanes and Climate Change is fairly straight forward and warmer Ocean Temperatures lead, not necessarily to more hurricanes but we believe to more destructive hurricanes. Well, we think also that certain other properties of hurricanes are also related to Climate Change. One is higher precipitation and thats, very, very basic science of a warmer atmosphere holds more water. The other thing that we have seen, which has a lot of significance is that, her had contains tend to slow down and park and just dump and dump and dump and dump. And that results in enormous accumulations of precipitation. And we think that is a consequence of Climate Change as well. And we saw it in the case of, for example, hurricane harvey. Right. Dumped up to 50 inches of precipitation on the city of houston. And that happened because of the storm basically, you know, it came to a stop and just sat there and stalled over the city, fingers crossed that it hwill nt happen to the southern u. S. This time.
